Brisse Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Well, I have beta now. Why isn't 1.5 waiting for me to DL it? lol The changelogs are often posted in advance. ED is based in Russia and it's the middle of the night at their offices right now, so don't expect it in the nearest hours.

cichlidfan Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Can't you just use the dcs updater to update release version to 1.5 beta via cmd? Sure, but I wouldn't.

26-J39 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Sure, but I wouldn't. Would you mind expanding on why you wouldn't? I ask because I was planning to do this.
xaoslaad Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Because if it's unstable, as a beta may be, you're then going to have to downgrade it and hope and hold you're breath that it gets you something that will work again.
kolga Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I know the changelog is exciting, but please guys, make sure you remember to breath, I think some of you are experiencing hypoxia ;) Can you use a larger font size? Because I can't read with blurred vision from lack of oxygen :D "Long life It is a waste not to notice that it is not noticed that it is milk in the title."

cichlidfan Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Would you mind expanding on why you wouldn't? I ask because I was planning to do this. In general, I wouldn't because I would always want to maintain a working non-beta version due to potential issues with the Open Beta. This is just even more true with this particular version since it is packed with so many far reaching changes. Especially given ED's own hesitation in releasing it.

Thanks, thats a good point. For me I've never had to downgrade from beta and I can't see myself going back to 1.2.16.. :D so I guess I'll just cross my fingers.. :lol:
kontiuka Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Good question. It would be nice if they could swim... But then pilots are pure ego, which I believe is water soluble.No, you're thinking of eggo.

uboats Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 In the changelog, it seems that there is no mention about the new mig-21 exterior model.

YMMV.) Open Beta and Release are currently the same version number, so there's very few changes required. Just flew a few quick missions, and all is good.

jasonstory44 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Exciting news for sure. Quick question guys, I've recently migrated away from STEAM and become a big boy using the direct ED version of DCS. I plan on installing the beta 1.5 version alongside my current DCS. This will be the first time I've had parallel beta and current versions. Can anyone tell me, will this require me to have to install all my 3rd party missions (i.e. Maple Flag), custom kneeboards and inputs all over again into the beta? Thanks in advance.

Zakatak Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 So sorry if I missed something but... Will uninstalled DCS 1.2.16, mainly because I was having some issues with it. I could reinstall it right now, but will I be able to download the 1.5 beta by itself without requiring the previous version? It seems like a pretty massive change, it'd make sense to me that you wouldn't need to have a game installed that runs on a completely different engine.
